'What... just happened?'
'What did he do in that moment just now?!'
At this moment, all the Sunagakure's Shinobi were horrified, completely frozen.
Their thoughts were almost completely interrupted; only this one question remained in their minds!
However,
No one could figure it out.
The moment they noticed that Amegakure's youth appearing in the high sky,
That burst of blue flame had already struck!
Then, like a dragon of destruction, it completely shattered and annihilated all defensive measures of everyone on the ground!
With just one Fire Release Ninjutsu,
It crushed everything along its path!
'This kind of terrifying attack... was it something a mortal could unleash...?'
'Isn't it a bit too absurdly strong...?'
"..."
All the Sunagakure's Shinobi were rooted to the spot.
At this moment, no one dared to make any unnecessary move.
And that Amegakure's youth in the sky with burning golden eyes didn't seem to intend to continue attacking either.
He just stood there in the night sky, calmly looking down.
Just then,
Suddenly, a change occurred.
From the direction of Sunagakure, a group of powerful Chakra Signatures were rapidly approaching!
Immediately after, fourteen Shinobi wearing Sunagakure's Anbu uniforms instantly leaped out from the night sky and landed!
Thud!
The moment they landed, the robes of the fourteen people instantly fluttered against the wind, their aura fierce!
"!?"
Seeing this sudden and spectacular scene, the Sunagakure's Shinobi who had just been defeated were first stunned.
Then, the faces of many suddenly lit up with joy.
"Huh...?"
"Those are... the elite Shinobi of the Anbu!"
"They came this fast?!"
"G-great, Kazekage-sama must have sent them to help us!"
"Now, there's only one enemy, but we have fourteen powerful elite Anbu Shinobi! We're saved!"
"We have a huge advantage this wave!"
Several Sunagakure's Shinobi's faces immediately showed smiles, as if they had survived a calamity, speaking loudly with calm confidence.
And the Sunagakure's Anbu who had just arrived, hearing these words of praise, were naturally pleased.
At this moment, one of the Anbu turned around, looked at that Sunagakure's Shinobi, and confidently grinned, saying with a smile:
"Good work, everyone."
"Please leave the upcoming battle to us Anbu to complete."
"Well then—"
"Where is the enemy who just invaded our Sunagakure?"
This Anbu's member spoke very gently, revealing his confidence completely.
However,
The next moment, that person's expression suddenly hesitated.
He stammered for a long time before slowly raising his hand and suddenly pointing to the high sky above their heads.
This strange action instantly made all the Anbu's members pause simultaneously.
'Huh?'
'What does that mean? Above their heads?'
'What a joke, how could the enemy possibly be above their heads?'
The Anbu immediately frowned, but still subconsciously looked up into the sky in the direction the person pointed.
The next moment,
The scene that appeared before their eyes was an unforgettable sight—
There, in the high sky, under the moonlight,
A youth wearing Amegakure's black Shinobi attire stood in mid-air, smiling as he looked down below.
His eyes shimmered with a brilliant golden glow, as if constantly burning.
At this moment,
He just lightly grinned, suddenly extended an index finger pointing at the Sunagakure's Shinobi below, and said with a smile:
"Although your timely arrival is surprising, however—"
"Small fries, please temporarily exit the stage."
"Hado #63,"
"Raikoho."
Boom!!!
As the words fell, countless golden lightning bolts instantly appeared before the youth's finger, condensing into a sky-filling wild thunder tidal wave!
The next moment, all the lightning, like an ocean turning over, directly blasted straight down towards the Anbu below!
Bam!!!
The entire night sky was strikingly illuminated into daylight by this dazzling lightning cannon!
All the Sunagakure's members below were instantly dumbfounded!
'Huh??!'
Everyone widened their eyes, pupils constricting, their minds almost blank!
They hadn't even figured out how this youth could stand in the sky before they saw that terrifying lightning pillar crashing down!
'Damn it!'
'Attacking without warning?!'
'We just appeared, at least give us some reaction time?!'
"!!"
Feeling that terrifying lightning pressure, all the Anbu instantly felt a chill down their spines, horrified!
However, as elites, they naturally didn't panic!
Despite their shock, they still gritted their teeth and tried to step aside to dodge, attempting to escape the range of the lightning pillar's impact.
But,
Just as they tried to move,
Suddenly, another invisible, terrifying pressure descended from the sky, instantly crashing down on every single one of them!
Thud!
In an instant, everyone's movement speed suddenly halted!
They were as if trapped in an invisible air swamp, unable to move an inch!
"—!?"
'Huh?!'
'What... power is this?!'
All the Sunagakure's Shinobi's expressions changed drastically, their pupils dilating!
And because of this momentary restraint, their escape attempt directly failed!
In the blink of an eye,
That fierce golden Raikoho, as if piercing the sky, fiercely crashed down, indiscriminately engulfing every single Anbu below!
Boom!!!!
The entire earth trembled incessantly from the powerful shockwave!
Lightning surged like an ocean!
And those Sunagakure's Shinobi who were slightly closer were directly sent flying by the spreading powerful impact!
The wind howled, thunder roared!
Even Kyo high in the sky had his clothes rustling loudly!
After a long while,
Those golden lightning tides began to gradually disappear, finally vanishing without a trace.
On the sand surface now, there was only the earth scorched black by lightning, and... fourteen figures lying on the ground.
The fourteen Anbu, at this moment, not a single one spared.
All were killed instantly...!
Silence.
Deathly silence!
Across the entire desert, apart from the sound of a gentle breeze, there was nothing else!
And the Sunagakure's Shinobi watching from the sidelines were now completely frozen, as if with a fishbone stuck in their throats, pale-faced, sweat pouring down like rain!
They had just felt a "huge advantage", but at this moment, they were completely dumbfounded.
'Wh-What's going on?!'
'Aren't the Anbu supposed to be Suna's elite...?'
'Why are even elite Shinobi getting instantly killed?!'
'This is too ridiculous, right?!'
Everyone looked up at the figure of the youth in the sky, despairing and fearful.
However,
At this moment, no one knew,
In the distant darkness, two figures were also lurking.
They were the two who came to Sunagakure with Kyo— Biwa Juzo and Uchiha Itachi.
At this moment, both their expressions were somewhat stunned.
The visual impact of that sealless golden Lightning Release just now was undoubtedly very powerful, especially in this dark night sky.
The moment it was released, it seemed to turn the entire desert and sky golden...
The key point was, not only was the destructive power astonishing, but it was also this long-lasting, which was just ridiculous!
After a long while, a drop of cold sweat rolled down Juzo's forehead. He smiled awkwardly with a strange expression, looked at Itachi beside him, and lowered his voice:
"Itachi, have you ever seen such powerful golden Lightning Release...?"
"..."
As the words fell, Itachi immediately withdrew his gaze. After a long silence, he gravely shook his head and said:
"...No, never seen anything like it."
"This must be what Kakuzu once mentioned, the ninjutsu hidden within Kyo-senpai's golden eyes, the True Eye of the King..."
"The power is, truly unbelievable."
Although Itachi's tone was calm, the expression on his face was especially solemn.
Even carrying a hint of fear.
…
At this moment,
Kyo, standing in the air, slowly withdrew his finger, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
'After pouring all my Spiritual Power into it, the power of Hado was indeed exceptionally extraordinary.'
'Even this Hado #63, Raikoho, combined with Spiritual Pressure suppression, could easily deal with ordinary Sunagakure's Jonin even with incantation abandoned...'
'Was it because the power of Hado was too strong, or because Sunagakure's Shinobi were just too weak?'
Just as Kyo was pondering, the prompt sound timely came in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Side Mission completed!]
[Defeat 30 Chunin of Sunagakure (30/30), Completed! Reward: Spiritual Power +1000, Kido EXP +500, Shop Points +200!]
[Defeat 10 Jonin of Sunagakure (10/10), Completed! Reward: Spiritual Power +1000, Kido EXP +600, Shop Points +300!]
As the prompts fell, Kyo slightly raised an eyebrow, a hint of smile flashing in his eyes.
Before coming, he was worried that Sunagakure wouldn't have enough people for him to fight. Unexpectedly, the previous Soren Sokatsui combined with the just now Raikoho directly completed everything. Not bad.
'Next, I just needed to defeat the Kazekage and the Jinchuriki, and this mission would basically be fully completed.'
Thinking of this,
Kyo slowly descended from the air and walked directly towards the Sunagakure crowd.
His pace was unhurried, his expression calm, so relaxed he didn't seem like an invader at all, rather as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
"?!"
Seeing this scene, all the Sunagakure's Shinobi instantly changed expression drastically, looking at the approaching Kyo in horror.
Just then, out of nowhere, a Sunagakure's Shinobi suddenly jumped out,
He raised the ninja tool in his hand, trembling as he assumed a defensive stance, forcing himself to calm down as he shouted loudly with a trembling voice:
"St...stop!"
"D-don't come any closer... Ame Shinobi!!"
"A-are you trying to formally declare war on our Sunagakure?!"
"O-our Kazekage-sama will absolutely not forgive you!!"
He shouted loudly, outwardly tough but inwardly weak.
The trembling in his tone clearly revealed his fear.
Obviously, at this moment, he was trying to intimidate Kyo with Rasa's prestige.
However, hearing this,
Kyo indeed stopped about two meters away from them.
'...Huh?'
Seeing this scene, many Sunagakure's Shinobi were momentarily stunned.
'...It worked?'
'Is this guy... also afraid of our Kazekage-sama!?'
Realizing this possibility, a faint glimmer of hope suddenly rose in their hearts.
But just then,
Kyo before them suddenly grinned slightly, looking at the Sunagakure crowd, and said with a gentle smile:
"Alright, then I won't move forward."
"Go notify your Fourth Kazekage—"
"Tell him to come out quickly and get beaten."
"...Huh?"
'Huh??????'
Hearing this, all the Sunagakure's Shinobi were completely dumbfounded.
